STUDENTS’ STRATEGIES IN ANSWERING THE LISTENING SECTION OF USEPT: AN INVESTIGATION AT THE ENGLISH EDUCATION STUDY PROGRAM OF SRIWIJAYA UNIVERSITY
Some universities in Indonesia require an English test as a graduation requirement, for example, at Sriwijaya University. Sriwijaya University has an English test that is similar to TOEFL, namely USEPT (Universitas Sriwijaya English Proficiency Test). The objective of this study was to investigate the strategies applied by the students of the English Education Study Program at Sriwijaya University in answering the listening questions of USEPT. This study involved a mix-method design. Fifty-one students from semester 4,6,8 with listening scores above became participants in this study. Online questionnaire through Google Form and online interview through Zoom meetings were used by the researcher to collect the data. The data analysis result showed that strategy ‘Before listening, I tried to anticipate the topic by looking at the answers on the screen’ is the mostly used strategy, and strategy ‘While listening to parts B and C, I tried to ignore the answers and just listen to the talks’ is the least used strategy. In addition, paying attention to the similarities in multiple choice is one of the strategies that students use when facing a conversation/lecture that they do not understand at all.
